ABB to showcase its latest industrial digital solutions

Under the theme, From Innovation to Transformation, ABB will showcase its latest industrial digital solutions at a special event in Melbourne next month.

The new portfolio, ABB AbilityTM, is designed to improve operating efficiencies and empower the digital transformation for businesses across the utilities, industries, transport and infrastructure sectors.

According to ABB, this unique exhibition will assist businesses to lower operating costs and enhance their competitive advantage.

The innovations will advance the digital grid of the future, the company says.

This includes the integration of renewable energy, intelligent manufacturing and software-defined machines to smart sensors, cloud services and smart buildings.

National and international speakers, include Otto Preiss, ABB Group Senior Vice President Digital, who will outline the impact of digitalisation on the bottom line.

Mr Preiss will explain how the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and ABB Ability solutions can drive operational excellence.

Emission reduction

The important topic of “How to achieve 50 percent renewable energy without comprising grid stability” will provide an ideal platform for a lively debate during the morning plenary session.

Leaders in industry, utilities and government will feature and initiate discussion about the policy setting and technologies needed to maintain reliable power supply and help Australia grow its economy while meeting its international commitments to emission reduction.

“In Australia, digitalisation offers enormous potential across all areas of manufacturing, the resources sector as well as transport, infrastructure and utilities,” said Tauno Heinola, Managing Director for ABB Australia.

“We are excited to bring our digital solutions offering, ABB Ability to the Australian marketplace. ABB Customer World is the perfect platform to help our customers understand the competitive advantages it will afford them. Customers can now use ABB Ability to make the most of their existing assets and capitalise on new opportunities presented by the Energy and Digital revolutions.”
